South Africa's Agriculture Minister Willie Aucamp has strengthened the country's efforts to contain and eradicate foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) by appointing two prominent agricultural leaders, Dr. Theo de Jager and Dr. Danie Odendaal, to the Industry Coordination Council (ICC). The appointments were announced during the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Symposium in Pretoria. The ICC, a key industry-government structure, coordinates vaccine distribution, animal traceability, and disease-control measures. Minister Aucamp also expanded the council's mandate and revealed that South Africa has imported 17 million vaccine doses as part of the national disease-control strategy.
